Pensacola Bahia Grass Proves
Great Worth as Grazing Crop
For early green grazing, spec-
tacular resistance to drought and
heavy hay production, Pensacola
Bahia grass is etcating unusual
enthusiasm among Southern cattle-
men.
It. Johnson, Geneva County,
Alabama, has 450 are of Pensa-
cola Bahia, and of all of his thou-
sand acres of improved pasture,
he says his favorite mixture is
Bahia anil crimson clover.
In a recent interview, Mr. John-
son told how lust year he grazed
129 head of steer.- from Feb. 1 to
tho last of March on a 48 acre field
of Bahia-crimsqn, and then got
200 pounds of clowr seed an acre
olF the field. After the seed was
harvest, 200 bales of hay an acre
were saved on the area.
Even with the unusually dry
summer, Johnson harvested f3
bales of hay an arn Inst October..
Since that time, there have been]
45 brood rows and calves grazing
on the field.
Pensacola Bahia is especially
recommended for the lower half
of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
and Louisiana; for all Florida and
the coastal plains of South Caro-
lina and east Texas. It is, practi-
cally, a year ’round grass. Propa-
gation is from seed, which re-
quires far less labor than setting
root cuttings. Ideal planting con-
ditions usually exist in March,
April and May. However seed can
he planted any month in Florida.
Agricultural Experiment Station
bulletins report l’ensaeoia Bahia
seed of good quality will come up
to a stand, when moisture anil
temperature are right, within 10
days to 2 weeks. Roots sink to
great depths (to 30 and 40 inches).
Pensacola Bahia has produced es-
sentially the same yield in terms
of pounds of beef per acre as
Coastal Bermuda.

COLD WATER SHAVES
GONE FOREVER
THANKS TO NATURAL GAS
From where I sit... 6t/ Joe Marsh
Pretty "Foxy" Terrier
Talking about dogs the other
night—and Sandy Johnson topped
everything off with a tnll story
about his fox terrier, "Boseum.”
According to Sandy, “Cornea
bird aeason anil that dog won’t
stir if I take down my rifle. Same
if it's deer season and I go for
my nhofgim — he won’t move, but
he's scratching at the door if I so
much as look at my rifle!”
One day, Sandy decided to fool
him. He took down both his shot-
run and his rifle — nnd swish,
Boseum was on his way! So Sandy
put the guns back and took out
his fishing rod. He went outside
and there was Boseum — digging
like crazy for worms!
From where I sit, a dog that
ran outguess humans is as rare
as a human that ran outguess
other humans. For instance, I
like a glass of beer with lunch
hut I wouldn't think of pouring
you one without first asking.
Everyhody has preferences—and
it's finding out what they are and
respecting them that keeps free-
dom from “going to the dogs.”

. ..AND AREN’T YOU GLAD!
Remember when the teakettle ran dry in the middle of a shave or
while you were washing dishes? That doesn't happen today,
because you have natural gas and your automatic gas water heater to keep
lots of hot water always available. And aren’t you glad.
Natural gas serves you and your family in so many ways, we
think you'll agree it’s worth every cent it costs—and then some.
